Filing an intervention for Vancouver Co-operative Radio’s License Renewal

Vancouver Co-operative Radio’s license to broadcast is up for renewal with the CRTC.  It would be of great value to us if the CRTC was aware of all of the community members and organizations that support our continued broadcasting.  In order to register your support for Vancouver Co-op Radio’s license renewal, you must file an intervention with the CRTC.  You can file in one of 3 ways:

• by using the electronic interventions/comments form located on the CRTC’s web site at
  http://www.crtc.gc.ca under “Public Proceedings” then by selecting “Interventions/
  Comments Forms” or, by selecting the link below the description of each application
  within the Notice of Public hearing also located on the CRTC’s web site under “Public
  Proceedings”; or
  
  
• by fax to the Secretary General 819-994-0218; or

• by mail at CRTC, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0N2.
